I will have my first sleep study this Thursday. What should I expect? Where do they wire me up at? Should I wear pajamas or a gown? I am afraid I will not be able to go to sleep all wired up! :)

Its no biggie. They attach a lot of wires to your head, some on your chest and one on your leg. I think the last one is to look for restless leg syndrome. I would wear button down shorty pajamas to make it easier for yourself and the tech. It is definitely more difficult to fall asleep with the  mask on but the wires are not that noticable. If you have trouble  falling asleep anyway you should bring all the stuff that will help you like a pillow or something.

It is really not a big deal...I kind of enjoyed being away from the kids and the dog for a night. LOL

Thank you! Tonight is the night to be wired up! LOL Hope I'm not "too wired up" to go to sleep! I have got to teach tomorrow, so I hope this goes smoothly. Thank you again for your input.
